Harry Yee was a bartender at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Resort when in 1957 he was asked to create a new drink using the company's new Blue Curacao liqueur. The Blue Hawaii was born. There are some variations of this recipe, many using Creme de Coconut, but this is the authentic recipe.

Ingredients:

3/4 oz. Light Rum

3/4 oz. Vodka

1/2 oz. Blue Curacao

3 oz. Pineapple Juice

1 oz. Sweet & Sour Mix

Preparation:

Combine all ingredients and mix well. If using ice, mix the ingredients in a blender. Serve in a tall glass. Garnish with a slice of pineapple and a cherry.
